Do It Right

What am I supposed to do?

I want a life filled with you.

Mornings and evenings, twisted together.

Souls, melted in with each other.

 

But it feels like you're leaving,

Trying things with him.

I can't sit here and watch.

My feelings aren't that thin.

 

They are deep,

Throbbing things.

That pull and grab you in.

My feelings are intense,

They always have been.

 

My feelings need hope,

That there will be an "us",

I need to feel you close,

That's a must.

 

I feel a torrent of pain in my heart.

Everything is ripped wide apart.

Gutted, broken, stripped and cleaned.

I will put it back together piece by piece.

 

I can't have just part of you,

For the rest of my life.

Let's get this done,

Le'ts get this right.

 

Let's figure out how,

To fix your life,

To find all those pieces,

And end the plight.

 

We will fix it together.

I will send you back.

Use every breath,

To get it on track.

 

Here is my dedication,

To you, my love.

I will do what's right:

All of the above.

 

If you can't love him,

Please come back to me.

But he had you first,

That I can see.

 

If you fall in love with him,

I will move on.

Search for a different love,

If there even is one.

 

But I swear in my heart,

That if you change your mind,

I will be right here,

To with you, intertwine.

 

Let's get this done.

Let's get this right.
